Summer Seasonal Affective Disorder


For some, with summer comes depression. NECBT can help.
Are you feeling a little down this summer, but don’t know how to explain it? Has this happened to you in summers past? Do you start feeling blue around the onset of summer, but begin to feel more at ease as the weather cools and we settle deeper into the autumn months?

If you answered yes to the above questions, you are not alone. While many individuals living with varying forms of depression, and specifically Winter SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), can find that the summer months, with their influx of warmth, sunshine and activity, can ease depressive symptoms, there is a percentage of the population that actually feels an increase in depressive symptoms with the onset of summer.
